Chipie, not Chippie!

It's 1999 and I was going to the cinema for the first time with my math teacher's niece. My brand-new scooter of the Piaggio Skipper type took me to the cinema where she, my first date, was already waiting for me. These are vivid memories that catch up with me at that moment when I took her hand, stiff as a poker and not saying a word, and we entered the cinema together, embarrassed.

The film was already running but I could not follow it. I was much too nervous then. But one thing caught my attention. It was the smell of ripe fruit over a flowery chypre accord with a certain light, almost minty freshness. As a child I had already been a perfume miniature collector, but I had no idea what kind of fragrance it should be. After the film, I immediately asked which perfume she was wearing. We ran to the nearest drugstore and there she showed me her signature scent. Chipie! Princess! I was stunned and the next day I came back to the store to buy a bottle of it myself. Since then I only talked about Chipie at school! So it didn't take long until I was greeted by my comrades with the nicknames Chipie I even signed my SMS with this name and added a p to the name to "masculinize" it a little bit.

A fragrance that marked my youth. Layered with Boss Bottled, I went to school in the morning. My hobby has begun...

The smell is missing! A grandiose work in a price range that I can no longer take seriously today. At that time there were still really good scents for little money.

If you never smelled him, you're missing out.
